A quick chat with Calpernia Addams and Andrea James of “Transamerica Love Story”

As for Andrea, I had met her just a few weeks earlier when my blogger pal Kenneth Walsh (Kennethinthe212) invited some friends to meet at The Abbey when he was in LA. I confessed to Andrea at the GLAAD Awards that the entire night – and we talked at length – I did not know she was a transgender woman.

Anyway, both women hoped that their dating show, “Transamerica Love Story” helped to shatter some stereotypes: “We often get portrayed as so tragic and serious,” said Andrea. “This was just a chance to have some fun.”
